I believe failover is best to be done manually just to be sure active node is really dead before importing it on another node, otherwise there could be serious issues I think.

I believe there are many users of Linux-HA, aka heartbeat, who do failover automatically on Linux systems. You can configure a stonith device to "shoot the other node in the head." I had heartbeat running on OpenSolaris, though I never tested failover.

Did you get decent performance when you tested?

Solaris Cluster is a free download I believe (even in commercial production):

For OpenSolaris there's also OpenHA:

        http://opensolaris.org/os/community/ha-clusters/

Need to cut a cheque for support though (for both/either).
